The Hockey Resource Presents the ACHA Prospect Showcase Series (1)

AMERICAN COLLEGIATE HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

CONTINUES PROSPECT SHOWCASE SERIES IN 2025

 TROY, MI (Dec. 4, 2024) – The American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), the governing body for non‐NCAA men’s and women’s hockey in the United States, today announced it will continue its Prospect Showcase Series in the spring of 2025.

The 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series has been expanded and will now be held at five sites across the United States:

April 25-27, 2025 in Middletown, New Jersey;

May 16-18, 2025 in Fargo, North Dakota;

June 6-8, 2025, in St. Louis, Missouri;

June 20-22, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada; and

August 1-3, 2025, in Adrian, Michigan.

The 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series is intended to help educate prospective men’s and women’s student-athletes and their families about the ACHA as the largest collegiate hockey association in the world while also providing exposure for those prospective student-athletes to ACHA teams and coaching staffs.

 The 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series will focus on High School and Junior Hockey men’s and women’s prospects (i.e., student-athletes with 2004-2009 birth years) who want to continue their competitive hockey careers while attending college.

The ACHA has again partnered with Capper Hockey Services to develop and manage the 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series and will be joined by many of the 475-plus ACHA college hockey programs to conduct each event.  The 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series “weekend experience” at each site will consist of:

o Competitive hockey

o Ladder of hockey development options

o Education of college hockey landscape

o Academic preparation for college hockey

o Exposure to coaches from all five divisions of ACHA hockey

Prospective student-athletes will play three (3) games and one (1) practice run by ACHA coaches. ACHA coaches will also coach on the benches and communicate directly with prospects during the games.

An educational seminar for prospective student-athletes and their families on the ACHA will take place on Day Two of each ACHA Prospect Showcase to discuss options for prospective student-athletes to consider, including all levels of ACHA hockey, junior hockey, NCAA Division 1 hockey, and NCAA Division 3 hockey.  The ACHA will also conduct a College Fair at each ACHA Prospect Showcase to permit prospective student-athletes and their families to speak directly with ACHA coaches and university representatives.

“Last year, we hosted three incredible showcases in New Jersey, Las Vegas, and Adrian, Michigan,” said Joe Caprio, Owner of Capper Hockey Services.  “We are excited to continue our success from last year and build on that success with the 2025 ACHA Prospect Showcase Series; based on the positive feedback from players, coaches, and parents, we know we are creating something special with these events. These showcases allow ACHA coaches to see talent they may not have been able to see due to schedule restrictions and conflicts. We had over 40 players commit to different universities after last year’s events!”
